I was very sorry to lose this article for the Fall 2015 issue. I was glad to be reminded that more than Sherlockians were there to see the film at the SIFF, such as the young man Ariana talked to in line who was a silent movie fan who wanted to see a legendary film long thought lost. I also appreciated her “average film-goer” perspective and the communal aspect of meeting with a dozen SOB members to watch the film. Please download it and read it with Jon Lellenberg’s piece. Two great pieces that go great together.

(I gave it a four star rating so you wouldn’t think there was editorial nepotism going on.)
